But this isn't a Drury situation, it's a draft situation. I don't like how the system works in that a player can refuse to sign with the team that drafted him for arbitrary or unstated reasons -> without consequences. A player that does this should not be able to re-enter the NHL draft or play with another NHL team for another year. There should be a waiver situation like with FAs who are free to not report to the team that traded for/signed them/have their rights like Nabokov and the Islanders. The consequence is that they are not allowed into an NHL organization until the next season.

Or the compensation should be similar to the loss.
